Here's what the Pride Center says it's doing with a huge donation

The Pride Center of Vermont says it received an anonymous donation of $350,000, enough money for it to eventually reopen.

Back in October, the center, one of the state's largest LGBTQ+ organizations, announced a sudden pause in operations after 26 years, citing " critical funding shortfalls ."

The organization laid off its employees and paused all programs, save for the SafeSpace Anti-Violence Program, which has continued under the Vermont Network Against Domestic and Sexual Violence. At the time, the group's board said it would need $350,000 to start back up.
